History

Eli Casey was superintendent for a period until the board of trustees, in April 2000, decided to select a new superintendent. [4]

In 2001 there was a conflict when the board of trustees encountered difficulty agreeing on who would be a new board member. Paul Street, the Superintendent of Schools of Yavapai County, told the Mayer USD board that it would either need to organize a special election, or all existing members would have to collectively pick the new member. All members of the board agreed to select a member, which meant that the district did not have to spend money on organizing the special election. Daily Courier gave a positive reception to that decision. [5]

Pat Dallabetta had been superintendent from sometime around 2001 until 2009, when he decided to retire. [6] In 2010 Mayer USD asked Dean Slaga to become the superintendent. [7] In 2019 Slaga was selected as the "All Arizona Superintendent for Small Districts" for that year. [8]
